Art Council of Southwest Florida

The Art Council of Southwest Florida is dedicated to expanding the range of art appreciation and creative art opportunities for the residents of Southwest Florida and the many thousands of people from all over the world who visit here annually.

​

We are an "umbrella" 501(c)3 visual arts organization that works to support and further energize the efforts of its member art organizations and studios,  across 5 counties (Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Hendry & Glades). These organizations have a combined membership of more than 6,000 artists and craftspeople.

​

The Art Council hosts two biennial exhibits: the Spring Art Show in even-numbered years, and the Winners' Circle in odd-numbered years.

​

The Art Council of Southwest Florida also owns and operates the COCO Galleries providing opportunities for artists from our member organizations to exhibit their work and to hold special exhibitions.

​

The Art Council serves to support hundreds of this region's artists and the organizations that they belong to as a way to energize the appreciation and creation of visual artwork.

​

Together we are stronger.  If you are a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the promotion of the arts in Southwest Florida and would like to join us, please contact the ACSWF President for additional information.
